We're Not Who You Think We Are

I Fought The Law

Certain Songs #214: The Clash – “I Fought The Law”

June 7, 2015 by Jim Connelly

I_fought_the_law Album: The Cost of Living EP.
Year: 1979.

In my opinion, there are two types of cross-genre covers. One type is the ironic, sneering “we’re better than this stupid song” cover that was so prevalent in the early days of hardcore. You know, the “Hey ma look at us, we’re covering ‘Afternoon Delight!!!’ Isn’t that hilarious?” school.

It was kinda funny maybe the first time somebody did it, but not the 3,567,684,896th time. We get it. You’re more authentic than Starland Vocal Band. Congrats!
